Well, first problem is: which applications would really care about the
information on /proc/cpuinfo? i doubt there are any applications that
require this information besides probably the cpu type.
We could have a standard part /proc/cpuinfo part for those
applications that care about this and a architecture-specific part.
The standard part should have:
global: the port name, architecture type, number of cpus on the
system, number of active cpus on the system.
per cpu: the cpu type, the fpu type, mmu type, bogomips.
The rest should be architecture dependant.
